2002 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt

Submitted by Casey Trauer on

Yes, the medallion has been found, but there's still lots to talk about. Feel the need for more than virtual discussion? Then join the Re-Hash Bash, Sunday, Jan. 27, at noon at Merriam Park in St. Paul.

Yes, you can put up a picture of the coin. They'll still have to give me the coin to get the money and tell me something secret about it to make me believe they actually have it.

Weird, I went to make a post on my Yahoo club, and when I clicked on the box for typing my text, I get a Windows message saying Access is Denied. Hmmmm...

Oh, crap! It appears as if scribe is no longer here : ( I was going to inquire wether the time clock was still located on that tree....

Oh we all know you're Mr. News Ares. That's why Mr. News is always so quick to attack you. Classic case of self-loathing schizophrenia. And all this nonsense about a newshash bash is just a manifestation of your guilt for having missed the parade, isn't it? Come on now, fess up!

(hehe)

Nah, that's just all part of the cover-up, a way to throw off suspicion from yourself. Who would ever suspect you of trying to get yourself booted!

I threw out some possibilities yesterday but didn't get much of a response. I'm thinking I might like Fabulous Fern's on the Sunday afternoon that it starts. It has free parking and is in a cool building. People can get food and/or alcohol there, and I just kind of like the place.

besides if it were me he'd have shown up every time i was here :)

Artemis says she has heard of fabulous ferns, sounds cooool!!

Allison Wonderland

Not necesarily. Why log in as both entities at the same time everytime? I may have to go back and delete this in a moment but honestly, I don't think the person you all seem to suspect as being Mr News is actually creative enough to be him. Just being on around the same time is not what I would call conclusive evidence. I've ferreted out people posing as others before and you have to look for speech patterns, typing patterns, usage of capitals and punctuation, as well as personality. I see those parallels between Mr News and JC, but not the one you've been talking about.

The pre-mock party would be next Sunday, the 17th actually, not this Sunday.

well, i can't honestly say, allison. i've never met the suspect.

THE MEDALLIONATORS ARE OFFERING $1000 CASH REWARD FOR PROOF WE ARE MR NEWS

See? No punctuation. That's the sort of thing you usually do without really thinking about it, even if you are taking on different personalities.

ain't that the truth. i actually have to make a conscious effort to capitalise things as my alter ego. using american spellings instead of european takes even more effort.

Oh, that reminds me, I forgot to post this last night. The Medallionators are also offering an additional $100 in prize money if the finder has "an officially registered" Medallionator button. They have some they made up and are selling for $4 I think they decided on. They also contributed $200 off of a car if purchased at South City Motors (to the winner that is, it's a $200 off coupon).

Hmmm, can't seem to post to any Yahoo clubs. Is anyone else having that same problem?

Just a thought,

Its possible that mr news is lurking and whenever snake or medallionator comes on he/she posts so you all think its them?

I see your message but I still can't post. Maybe I need to restart my computer or try a different browser.

different browser would be *my* first choice.

That seemed to do it. Wanted to let everyone know that the clues are being written and hunt is most certainly pending.

Looks like the membership has climbed a few more people. Hopefully this will be a good hunt and no one will get arrested!

Allison Wonderland

If I can't post during the hunt? Well it seems it wasn't too hard to fix the problem. But even if I can't post for some reason, I could still post the clues here and email the clues to the members (assuming they have valid emails in their profiles).

and no one will get arrested!

do i wanna ask the question that i wanna ask here?

I just meant that no one gets carried away doing anything stupid. Also that I think during the Medallion Hunt police know what's going on and won't think too much of someone walking through a park with a shovel. But when they think there is no hunt and they see the same thing, maybe they'll stop to investigate.

If they come to question you, how do you think they would react if you tell them you have a Joe?
